Green Left (Britian)

March 12, 2015 -- London Green Left Blog, posted at Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- The Green Left grouping was formed in 2006 when a small number of members
of the Green Party of England and Wales met at spring conference and drafted
the Headcorn Declaration.
Later in the year, in June, 37 members met in London to formally adopt
the name Green Left (the original prototype grouping was called Green
Revolution) and amended and adopted the Headcorn Declaration. I
was one of those members.

The thinking behind the need for such a grouping within the
Green Party was that the party should "raise Green Party politics to meet the
demands of its radical policies" and to "act as an outreach body that will
communicate the party’s radical policies to socialists and other
anti-capitalists outside the party". Green Left would also promote ecosocialism as a
solution to our social and ecological ills.
